Chapter Twenty-Three: His face changed
Yuan Li said unhurriedly
"Old sister, don't worry, Master Ou and his wife have promised me to treat Qing'er well, and treat them like daughters, what else are you worried about? Which day do you see, go to Ouyang's house to have a look? ”
Song Nanzhi looked at his uncles and aunts,
The second aunt said
"Sister-in-law, let's go the morning after tomorrow"
Song Nanzhi said to Yuan Li
"Secretary Yuan, let's go the morning after tomorrow"
"Okay, then the morning after tomorrow, Master Ou, you and your sister-in-law will go home tomorrow, ready to prepare food, and we will go to your house to drink, hahaha"
Ouyang Lei looked at Song Nanzhi a little relieved, and also said with a smile next to him
"What do we want for chicken, duck and fish?"
Song Nanzhi and Li Qing's uncles and aunts, after going to Ouyang's house to see, Yuan Li asked Song Nanzhi
"Old classmate, you see, Master Ou's house is here, the terrain is relatively high, and it is still the first row in the village, how beautiful the house is, haha"
"It's too far from the street, it's inconvenient to live."
"Old classmates, you also came to see it, then we will settle the relationship between the two children, how much is the gift money? Gift? ”
"Yuanli, we are the same as the people nearby, how many people we have, we don't know the customs and habits here? It's all clear. ”
"Master Ou, bring the marriage gift money"
Ouyang Lei took out a red envelope from his underwear pocket.
Yuan Li handed over the gift money of 300 yuan to Song Nanzhi.
In this way, Li Qing's mother, Song Nanzhi, reluctantly agreed to this family affair and made a marriage.
Then every three or five days, there were many relatives of the Ouyang family, who came to take a look at Li Qing and find two words to talk about when they were specially excused to get oil.
"This is Ouyang's girlfriend"
"Oh, it's good-looking, it's too thin"
In a blink of an eye, it was the May Festival of the second year, and there was a custom in S County, the first May Festival of the new parents, the girl would go to her fiancé's house for lunch.
In the factory, everyone took a half-day holiday, Ouyang was dressed cleanly, his hair was specially combed, with a smile on his face, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he came to Song Nanzhi's small courtyard.
Li Qingdong turned west and asked Ouyang
"What do I wear to your house? Ouyang"
"I wear it as usual."
Li Qing turned to Li Yun and Li Feng
"Okay, no."
Li Yun hugged his eight-month-old son Jia Ren and looked at it with a smile
"Okay"
Li Feng blinked his eyes and bared his teeth and said
"Okay, the second sister looks good in whatever she wears"
Li Qing finally changed into a new dress made this year.
"Mom, we're going to Ouyang's house."
Li Qing greeted everyone excitedly.
Ouyang pushed the bicycle and walked out of the small courtyard with a hello.
Li Qing went to the street and crossed the national highway and bought two bottles of wine in a small shop.
Ouyang stepped on the bike.
Li Qing dragged the hem of the dress with his hand, raised his hips and went to the back seat, Li Qing asked
"Who is coming to dinner in your house today?"
"Just my parents, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, second sister, second brother-in-law and younger brother"
"I know your father, I don't know anyone else, it's embarrassing, I don't know what to call it",
"You eat yours, I'll introduce you when the time comes, hehe"
Ouyang smiled evilly, stretched out his right hand, and patted Li Qing's hand.
Li Qing muttered
"It's a real nuisance"
"Ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws"
Li Qing gently pinched Ouyang's waist with his hand and deliberately shook his legs in the back seat.
Ouyang sighed, kicked up his feet hard, and the car flew forward.
Ouyang hummed a minor tune and arrived at the entrance of the village in twenty minutes.
In the fields, people kept greeting Ouyang,
"Ouyang, come back for the holidays"
"Hmm!"
Ouyang smiled
"Who's the girl in the back?"
Ouyang pretended not to hear, raised his head and smiled proudly, from the entrance of the village to the front of the house, some people stretched their necks to watch.
The third sister-in-law smiled and deliberately walked to the door and said
"Auntie, I'll borrow a shovel."
When he came in, he grimaced at Ouyang, stood in front of Li Qing, and looked Li Qing up and down.
Jiang Cui scolded
"You third sister-in-law, don't you go home to cook?"
"Hahaha, what's the urgency of cooking,"
As soon as she entered the house, Ouyang's eldest sister asked softly with a smile
"Why didn't you come until now?"
Ouyang said solemnly with his neck on his back
"I work in the morning and have a holiday at noon."
As he spoke, the dishes were served on the table one after another, and Li Qing glanced at the alarm clock on the bookcase in the hall, it was almost half past eleven.
Everyone sat down in turn, Ouyang introduced them one by one, and Jiang Cui put vegetables in Li Qing's bowl.
Li Qing liked to eat, and some didn't, so he sandwiched it into the Ouyang bowl sitting next to him.
Li Qing didn't drink either, so he hurriedly ate with his head down, and got off the table.
"Uncle, aunt, eldest sister... You eat slowly."
Ouyang also finished eating quickly, and Ouyang called warm water and asked Li to wash his face and wash his hands.
Li Qing and the eldest sister and the second sister chatted a few words of homely things, and they were in a hurry to go home.
"Ouyang, I want to go home"
The eldest sister and the second sister asked with a smile
LI Qing,
"Let's go home"
Li Qing was determined to leave.
Jiang Cui smiled, took out a red envelope from his pocket, which was fifty yuan, and stuffed it into Li Qing's palm, Li Qing pushed Jiang Cui's arm and didn't take it.
Ouyang said with a smile
"This is etiquette, a red envelope from a mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law"
Li Qing had no choice but to pinch the red envelope in his hand, and then say goodbye to everyone.
Ouyang got on the bicycle, and the two went back to Li Qing's home.
As soon as I entered the iron gate, I saw Song Nanzhi, who was shoveling a pile of soil in the yard, and Li Yun's husband Jia Hao was also busy beside him.
Ouyang put away the bicycle and walked over quickly
"Mom, I'll shovel"
Song Nanzhi smiled
"Good, good, Ouyang"
Li Qing blinked and coughed, and muttered quietly
"The skin is so thick, call Mom? Hahaha".
As soon as the May Festival passed, Ouyang quit his job in the oil factory and went to work at the construction site where his second brother-in-law worked in H City.
A month later, Ouyang came back and came to Song Nanzhi's house.
Song Nanzhi asked
"The oil mill is out of business?"
"It's gone, it's only 50 yuan a month, it's too little. I was looking for something else to do, and I went to work at the construction site where my second brother-in-law in H City worked."
"Oh"
Li Qing asked
"Are you still going?"
"No, that job is not done by people, I work for more than ten hours a day, I live in a shed, I am looking for other work at the door, Li Qing, I bought a silk scarf for you in H City."
"This is silk?"
Soon it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15,
Ouyang Lei and Jiang Cui discussed,
"It's red after the festival, the cement floor paint of the East House has also been brushed, the seven groups of modular furniture have been laid, and the ceiling has also been installed.
I've almost done Ouyang's marriage and married my daughter-in-law."
"I'll go to Yuanli tomorrow and go to Song Nanzhi's house to discuss and try to set the wedding date."
"Secretary Yuan, are you busy?"
"Master Ou, here it is"
"Please come out of here, you big celebrity,"
"Think of red, hahaha"
"You guessed my thoughts, hehehe
Yes, everything is ready, and I want to do Ouyang's marriage at the end of the year,"
"Pick a good day, let's go to Song Nanzhi's house to discuss"
"Jiang Cui and I are optimistic at home, and we will do it the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, let's go to Song Nanzhi's house the day after tomorrow, I'll go talk to Song Nanzhi now."
Fast forward to the morning of the third day.
Ouyang Lei and his wife picked two baskets of gifts with bamboo baskets, and Ouyang and Yuan Li came to Song Nanzhi's house together.
Li Qing's uncle and aunt also came.
"Sit, sit, pour tea"
Yuan Li said
"Old classmate, these two children have been together for so long, Master Ou and his wife ask you, can you get married at the end of the year?"
"Do you want to marry home after less than a year?"
Yuan Li explained with a smile
"Master Ou's little daughter-in-law, it's been two or three years, only the elder brother gets married first, and the younger brother can start a family."
Jiang Cui pouted and interjected,
"My two in-laws are not bad, and they never come to loot my things after they get married"
As soon as Jiang Cui said this, Song Nanzhi's face immediately changed.
